The university will help to reduce the number of homeless people sleeping rough this winter by hosting a shelter on campus, working in partnership with local charity Emmanuel House.
The charity will offer accommodation for up to 22 people per night – ensuring there are fewer people on the streets during the coldest months of the year.
By supporting this work, up to 22 people will be off the streets and in a warm and safe location each night.
He added: "We've already been able to offer donations of clothes and other items and the charity is grateful to those who might also be able to offer their time to volunteer to support them.
We're delighted that our Asymptomatic Testing Service can also support their work and help keep everyone safe. It shows all aspects of the university coming together to make a really positive difference to people's lives."
